Meanwhile, talkSPORT's Ade Oladipo added: "Tony Weeks is a DISGRACE for stopping that.

"Justified indignation over last night has dissipated and been replaced by calls for the “PPV world title fight” between Rolly and Ryan Garcia. Smh. Why nothing will get better."
It seems, however, that Romero may not get the opportunity to fight Garcia next, as WBA mandatory challenger, Ohara Davies, has threatened legal action if he is not called to fight the champion next.
